MY ART

Saturday, 31 March 2012

one from Jenn at Just add water silly and one from Tracey Fletcher King.

Being the expert blogger I am (cough, cough), I had no idea what that was.

After a quick SOS to Tracey, I found out what it was.

Here are my answers to Tracey's questions.

How would you rate your breakdancing ability.... 1 being a demented spider and 10 being a drunken sailor??? 20 Extremely drunken, demented spidery, sailor.

What is the worst book you have ever read??? The Sundowners, I was made to read this depressing book at school.

George Clooney or Brad Pitt??? No contest Mr Hunkybum Clooney all the way

Do you
prefer Chocolate Eggs or Bunnies???... chocolate bunnies that is... I
mean of course you would eat chocolate eggs rather than a real bunny....
or at least I hope you would.... Anything, as long as it is chocolate, it could look like a do do and I would eat it.

What is your guilty TV watching pleasure??? Dr Who, but only when David Tennant is the Doctor

If you could change your name, what would it be??? Never really thought about it, I've always liked Lucy

What is the worst.... and I am talking the absolute worst present you have ever received???? My dear husband gave me a pair of stretch jeans, that were covered in the brightest blue and green ferns(yes the plants) on a white background. You needed sunglasses just to look at them. Mind you I was in my mid forties and much as I like to paint with bright colours, I don't tend to wear them. I wore them just to spite him.

What song do you sing at the top of your lungs when no one is listening??? More than a feeling by Boston (and stop saying who are they, one of the greats in the 70's).

Mummy/Mommy issues or Daddy issues???? Love them both dearly, dad's a bit of a hypochondriac though.

How good
are you at parking a car.... 1 being you could reverse
park blindfolded in the world's smallest parking spot and 10 being any
car in a three spot radius is in danger of being bumped???? Being rather short and driving a big car about a 30. I drive out of my way to get an easy park. In my defence however, when I owned a Celica, I could put that baby anywhere. Had to sell it when Audrey made 5 (boo hoo).

The perpetual catered function dining question.... Chicken or Fish??Fish, they never cook the chicken enough.

Here are my answers to Jenns questions

Coffee, tea or me - What's your FAVORITE drink?? I would have to say coffee, but I do like tea too. White and two sugars of course.

Where does your inspiration come from? All around me, but lately from Tracey and bloggers.

Where is your favorite place to be? In my little office where I paint.

Did you have a stuffed animal when you were little that you loved to death? Bunnykins, a stuffed rabbit, I still have him in my bedroom drawer, he is 50.

Tell me something no one else knows about you but you wish they did! If I still had a secret like that, I doubt that I would want anyone to know about it.

If you could buy a new pet right now, what would it be and what would you name it? We were at a pet shop today and I saw a beautiful Indian Ringneck parrot, I wanted to bring him home. I would name him Fred. Couldn't do it though as I already have a 22 year old Long billed corella and he would not appreciate competition. Plus , so no room.we have a guinea pig, three chickens, a tank of mixed fish, a fish pond inside the house (yes inside), pond of fish outside, heaps of wild birds and a wild lizard, so there is no room for more.

Are you vain about something? I used to be podantic about my hair. It was past my waist, long and blonde. Then I had it cut really short and I don't care now.

Have
you found your niche, in other words, would people be able to recognize
your artwork without your signature? How did you find that comfortable
place? I am still looking and it is driving me crazy. Just wish I could find it.

What style of art do you WISH you could do but don't or can't right now? Realistic but really bright colours in water colour. I'm hopeless at watercolour.

Favorite kind/brand of art supply? Unfortunately, just the cheapest, wish I could afford the good stuff in any brand.

Now I have to do the same thing to more people.

Here are the rules:

So I swooshed the paint around and
came up with the one at the top.
In my defence,
I am a horrible photographer
and it looks much better
in real life,
but you will have to take my word for that.

At first I was going to do this in
watercolour pencil
and cut up a bit of water colour paper,
then I decided that it would take too much effort
to colour all of that.
So I picked up my trusty acrylics
and started to paint.
I learnt a valuable lesson
don't use acrylics on water colour paper.
As soon as the paint hit the paper it was sucked in
and that makes it really hard to blend.
Not to be outdone
I had five brushes on the go at once
each filled with different coloured paint
and ready to hit the paper and blend
in record time.
It worked quite well
but now I have
green hair, arms and teeth.
Well I had to put the brushes somewhere!

Anyway, that is my entry,
it's not the greatest
but at least it's green.
